A sharply contrasted serif with strong vertical stress, thick stem strokes, and very thin hairlines. Serifs are delicate and crisp, with a mostly unbracketed, cut appearance that keeps joins clean and precise. Proportions lean wide with generous interior space in round letters, and the overall rhythm alternates bold main strokes against needle-thin connecting strokes for a distinctly sculpted texture. The lowercase shows a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction, including a single-storey “g” and a two-storey “a,” while numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and fine terminals.
Best suited to display work such as magazine headlines, fashion and beauty layouts, premium branding, invitations, and large-format posters where its hairlines and contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titling when ample size and breathing room are available.
The font projects a polished, high-end tone—confident, stylish, and intentionally dramatic. Its intense contrast and sharp detailing evoke couture and editorial typography, with a poised, classical flavor that feels formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-fashion interpretation of classical contrasted serif forms, emphasizing elegance, precision, and visual drama through extreme stroke modulation and fine, sharp serifs.
At larger sizes the hairlines read clean and sophisticated, while in dense settings the thin strokes create a sparkling, high-contrast texture. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and striking capitals, with punctuation and joins maintaining a crisp, engraved-like finish.
